Case Study: Aramark increases small and diverse suppliers by 25% with Supplier.io

How Aramark was able to increase their small and diverse suppliers by 25% over 12 months

Aramark sought to strengthen its supplier diversity program to meet increasing requests for data from customers and better align with its corporate vision of ethical and inclusive sourcing. The challenge was to gain a clear understanding of its supply base and identify opportunities to increase spend with minority and women-owned businesses (MWBEs). To address this, Aramark partnered with Supplier.io.

Using Supplier.io's data enrichment and supplier diversity tools, Aramark was able to identify diverse suppliers in its supply base and implement solutions for supplier registration and spend reporting. This partnership helped Aramark increase its registered small and diverse suppliers by 25% over 12 months, grow Tier 1 diverse spend to $750 million, and achieve a 133% increase in Tier 2 diversity spend. Supplier.io's technology was instrumental in helping Aramark build a world-class program that now supports over 200 RFPs annually and contributes significantly to job creation and tax revenue.
